Motorhome site
The sign indicates that a motorhome site is available at or near the road.
When you see the sign
The sign indicates that there is a motorhome parking area at or near the road. If you intend to use it, reduce your speed well in advance, follow any directional signs, and then check the local conditions for parking and overnight stays.
Rules
- Sign 621 is a service sign indicating that there is a motorhome parking area at or near the road.
- The sign provides information but does not require you to enter or stop.
- Any supplementary signs may indicate the distance, direction or other information about the location of the motorhome parking area.
- At the motorhome parking area itself, you must follow the posted parking signs and conditions, including those concerning payment, time limits and which vehicles the area is intended for.
- The sign alone does not permit you to park in breach of other signs, road markings or traffic regulations.
Tips
- Look for an arrow or distance indication so that you have time to position yourself correctly before the turn-off.
- Reduce your speed smoothly before turning off, and avoid sudden braking when the motorhome is heavily loaded.
- At the entrance, check whether payment, registration or advance booking is required.
- Check the local rules before putting out tables, chairs or other equipment, as a motorhome parking area does not necessarily allow camping outside the vehicle.
Common misconceptions
- Some people think the sign indicates a regular campsite, but it specifically indicates an area intended for motorhomes.
- Some interpret the sign as requiring them to enter or take a break, but it is only a service sign providing information.
- Some people think the sign itself provides free, unrestricted parking, even though payment and time limits may be set locally.

Medium
You are driving a passenger car and see this sign with an arrow pointing toward a side road. You are not going to use the site. What do you do?
- AYou park by the sign because it marks an ordinary parking area.
- BYou continue along your planned route because the sign only provides information.
- CYou turn into the side road because the arrow indicates a mandatory direction of travel.
- DYou stop before the side road because the sign requires you to take a break.
Hard
You drive your motorhome into the site indicated by the sign. There is a parking sign requiring payment and specifying a maximum parking time of 24 hours. What applies?
- AYou may park free of charge for 24 hours because service signs always cancel payment requirements.
- BYou must leave the site immediately because service signs do not permit parking.
- CYou may park free of charge and without a time limit because the service sign takes precedence over the parking sign.
- DYou must pay and comply with the stated maximum parking time.
Theory test tip
In the theory test, the trap may be confusing the symbol with a campsite or an ordinary parking area. Remember that the sign indicates a designated area for motorhomes and does not, by itself, say anything about payment, opening hours or available services.
Did you know
Motorhome parking areas range from simple parking spaces to facilities offering services such as electricity, water and waste disposal. Sign 621 does not, however, guarantee any particular facilities; it only indicates that there is a motorhome parking area at or near the road.
Frequently asked questions
Does the sign mean that the motorhome parking area is right next to the sign?
Not necessarily. The area is at or near the road, and any arrow or distance indication shows where you should drive.
Is it free to use a motorhome parking area marked with this sign?
That does not follow from the service sign. Look for payment information and other conditions at the entrance or on the site itself.
Can an ordinary passenger car park in the motorhome parking area?
The sign indicates an area intended for motorhomes. Whether other vehicles may park there is determined by the signs and conditions at the location.
Can I stay overnight and set up camping equipment there?
Overnight stays in a motorhome may be permitted, but you must follow the local rules. Setting out tables, chairs, an awning or other equipment may be prohibited even if parking and overnight stays are permitted.
